Doubt he walks. He's not a good #1 so back up he will be.... anywhere... so he will stay where he has a good chance to win

There are plenty of UFA's to choose from

Keep in mind that Seattle will probably have the chance to select Jake Allen, Braden Holtby and Anton Khudobin in the expansion draft . . . maybe they'll select all three and flip one?

I'm not too sure about that . . . the only ones (excluding putative #1s) that seem reasonably qualified to me are Brossoit, Dell and Elliott. Who else did you have in mind?

Reimer not a good backup?

Yeah, one of Reimer or Mrazak should be available, too.

Depending on what other needs the Flames want to address, they may have to go cheap on a backup.

This season, Rittich at 2.75 is fine, but with a flat cap you probably wanna be spending less on a backup, especially with the dough committed to Markstrom. Zagidulin is an in-house option
